Something similar happened to me once at Costco. I was waiting at the check out line and the woman behind me pointed to the case of wine in my cart and said, "Is that wine good"? Feeling particularly cranky at the moment, I said, "No, I take it home and pour it down the drain". I mean DUH!

I went to Walmart to get jumbo eggs and I was able to get the only 2 packs of unbroken jumbos. I went to check out and three 20 yr olds were in front of me arguing over who was gonna put their groceries on whose Access card, I was thinking, "These mofos better not come to blows right here and break my Jumbo eggs, ill beat em up with my purse."

I laughed pretty hard last year when I came across a food blogger who breathlessly described the pink Himalayan salt as "the purest you can buy," and then in the very next sentence went on to extoll the healthful qualities of its many trace minerals - otherwise known as impurities. Honestly, some of those people...

...and yeah, I do occasionally come across references to "freshly-ground" salt in recipes from food bloggers. 'Cause those million year-old crystals just aren't the same when you crush them up ahead of time.

He was my favorite Comedian. People were scandalized that I would let my grandson watch him beginning when he was only 5. He loved Dave Allen so much that I just couldn't help it. to this day, He remembers all the skits and we laugh at them together all over again.

@liuzhou I just found all these Dave Allen videos on YouTube. You've just wiped out the rest of today and maybe tomorrow for me. And I already sent them to my grandson. It's Friday, he'll probably get fired.
